World Trade Center

[Dorothy39]

I havn't seen it and I'm not sure if I want to. I was in school when it happened. I remember one of the teachers got a call from a family member who had seen on the news after the first plane hit. She came into the classroom, tears in her eyes, and quietly told the other teachers. They then informed the class and whoever wanted to see the story was allowed to exit the classroom and gather in front of the tv. We were all bawling like babies when all of the sudden, the second plane hit the other tower. I SAW that. I saw, from the outside, hundreds of lives being ended. It was a horrible experience then, and it will be horrible to see it depicted again. We live in a time when terror is no longer a surprise. The things that humans do to each other... it should be unthinkable. I am amazed at how little surprises me. I'm 17 years old and when I hear that a child has been sexually assulted, a teen has slaughtered his schoolmates, a husband has killed his wife... I see it as something that has happened before. Over and over again. There is no shock at the news as there should be. I hate this so very much. To think of all of those who were only little kids when 9/11 happened... It brings tears to my eyes. They were robbed of their inocence and some of them, their families. A part of me says 'Good, someone has decided to make a movie to honor those whose lives were lost. Either in the attack, or as a result from it.' and another part thinks it's wrong for someone to capitalize off of such a tragic event in the history of this country, nay, the history of this world. I don't know... I'm sorry if none of this makes sense. I just needed to say it, ya know?

You said it well!!!! It makes perfect sense to me too.

Can anyone here imagine a movie--depicting a tragic Era in The United States--being shown 5 years afterwards??

Todays movie gentre, (OH, Hollywood is dead now, by the way) sensationalizes human atrocity!!

1968, Bobby Kennedy assassinated during a political convention speech, and, at the same time, a movie about the assassination of his brother, J.F.K., is showing at a theater near you!!!

Unthinkable--- at that time in our History!!!!

There was a phone call to a talk show about the movie.

A paramedic, from CA, that went to help at the WTC was angry that his profession was slighted by themovie.

Some families are ticked off too.


Oliver Stone made the movie to represent two men that lived thru the mess.

there are over 3,000 people that would like to have had their loved ones story told.....

that will take 3,000 movies...

I want to think that Stone's movie shows that people, and the country survived a reall kick to the groin.


Just because their story wasn't told doesn't mean that we won't forget.
